there was a race in northern california in the 1st district of california in which the then-vice president of the united states, vice president gore, called me as chairman of the democratic campaign committee and asked that i support a certain candidate who had helped him, whose family had helped him. and i said, mr. vice president, that candidate can't win. that candidate is too liberal for that district, and we went out and recruited mike thompson, a more conservative democrat. he won, and he's still in congress. you have to be proactive. it'll cause you problems if you're campaign chair when you do that, but you have to be willing to take your lumps. and also rahm emanuel did something which i had started when i was campaign chair. i took a lot of grief over it, and rahm took grief over it, but he was right. he went out in certain districts and recruited pro-life, pro-gun democrats. there are some people like that. and we have to be really a broad tent party if we're going to get back in the majority. now, just doing that isn't enough. we're not going to get back in the majority solely
